Safety instructions
Connection and operation
• The appliances are constructed in accordance with the relevant safety
regulations.
• Fitting a mains socket, repairing and servicing the appliance are jobs
that should be left to a qualified electrician according to valid safety
regulations. For your own safety, do not allow anyone other than a
qualified service technician to install, service or repair this appliance.
For the hob
• Owing to the very fast reaction at the high power setting (max.
power setting), do not use the induction hob without supervision!
• When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the cooking zones.
Avoiding boiling the pots dry as there is a risk of the pots overheating!
• Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones which have been
switched on.
• Take care when using simmering pans for the simmering water may
dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the pot and to the hob, in the
event of which no liability will be assumed.
• Immediately switch off the cooking zone after using with the respective
sensor key ON/OFF
and not just by pan recognition.
• Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Prepare meals
with greases and oils only under control. Never extinguish ignited fats
and oils with water! Put the lid on the pan and switch off the cooking
zone.
• The glass ceramic hob is extremely robust. Avoid dropping hard objects
onto the glass ceramic hob. Pointed objects falling onto your hob might
break it.
• If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass ceramic
hob, immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect fuse immediately
and call the Customer service.
• If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the sensor control
immediately disconnect your appliance and call the Customer service.
• Take care when working with attachments! The connecting cable must
not contact the hot cooking zones.
• The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a storage area.
• Do not put kitchen foil or plastic onto the cooking zones. Keep
everything which could melt, such as plastics, foil and in particular
sugar and sugary foods away from the hot cooking zone. Remove
sugar immediately from the hob when it is still hot with a scraper to
avoid damage
• Metal objects, e.g. kitchen utensils, cutlery, must not be left on the
surface of the induction hob as they can become hot.
• Do not place combustible, volatile or heat deformable objects directly
underneath the hob.
• Take care with metal objects which are worn on the body if they come
into the direct vicinity of the induction hob as they can become hot.
Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver rings) are not affected.
• Do not heat any unopened food cans or laminated packing on the hob.
There is a risk of bursting!
• Be especially careful to keep the sensor keys clean since soiling could
be mistaken for finger contact by the appliance. Never put anything
(pans, tea towels etc.) onto the sensor keys!
If food boils over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to activate the
OFF key.
• Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, otherwise the appliance
switches itself off automatically. In this case the oven automatically
shuts off.
• If there are any pets in the apartment which could come near the hob,
activate the childproof lock.
• The induction hob may not be used when the pyrolysis mode is in
operation.
For persons
• Caution!
People who are not familiar with the built-in hob must only be allowed
to operate it under supervision. Generally keep little children away
from the appliance and never allow them to play with the appliance.
• Attention!
The surfaces of the heating and cooking zones become hot during
use. Keep small children away at all times.
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps must
make sure that their implants are not affected by the induction field
(the frequency range of the induction field is 20-50 kHz).
